Hi

Would it be possible to get a dark theme option for the discoursehub app?

Thanks

Do you mean, for the interface of the app, i.e. list of sites and notifications? A dark theme for that is not in our plans, no.

That’s what I meant yes. If like me you configure all the forums in dark theme, you get a full white screen from the app before each connection.

Quite agressive for my eyes.

Let’s hope that iOS 13 bring us a full forces dark theme for every app then.

Yes, I am working on dark mode support for the Discourse Hub app. I don’t have a timeline yet, but it’s in our plans now.

Good news all, a new beta of the Discourse Hub app for iOS is now ready and it includes dark mode support. Please use the link below to install the beta via TestFlight:

Here is a short screen recording of the app toggling between regular and dark mode:

With dark mode I still have a white screen when loading a forum.

I’m not sure I understand. Do you mean the theme of the forum is white?

No. The theme is dark but right before the forum is loaded there is a blank white screen.

Hmm, I see. I can’t reproduce that here on meta or on [review.discourse.org](http://review.discourse.org).

I can reproduce on that site, too, but I can’t figure out what causes it.
